I accidentally bought frozen baby brine shrimp instead of the adult kind.  I'm concerned that they are too small for the fish to find and will just settle into the gravel and rot.  I can't see them eating them, but they are so small, it's hard to tell.  Hopefully my cories will clean them out of the gravel.  Should I switch to adult brine shrimp or will they be ok eating them baby brine shrimp?

Hmm, good question.  Do your fish seem to be eating them OK?  It's entirely possible that adult size would be better.  I'd say just keep an eye on the fish and make sure they seem to be getting enough food.  As far as them getting into the gravel and rotting, keep checking your water conditions to monitor for problems.
